Description

FIG. 1 is a perspective view from the top and right side of a display rack embodying our new design, it being understood that the opposite perspective view from the front and left side is a mirror image thereof; and,

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view thereof.

The broken line showing of eight adjoining display rack units, the base, and the dispensing features at the front bottom of the claimed units is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design. The broken lines which define the boundaries in the center of each of the display rack units define the boundaries of, but are not included in, the claimed design.
